Good branding is the most powerful tool in any company’s arsenal.

You have the greatest business in the world. Our job is to communicate that to the right people, just like we’ve done with dozens of fast-growing clients.

Good branding is all about psychology.

Our work is to dig deep, determine that WHY for your brand. What’s your story?

Then, only after our therapy sessions, only then can we help you tell that story in a comprehensive 360-degree brand, with well-researched and endlessly-strategized meaning behind every single piece.

It’s digging deep into your brain, finding out what makes you tick, and diving into your audience’s brains, finding out what makes them tick.

Then we all tick in unison, orbiting around you.

A storyteller’s mindset

We work best with mission-based brands.

Our true differentiator lies in our ability to translate deep research into well-thought-out, strategic stories.

The kind of brand that brings the right people into your world and develops a lifelong fanbase.

Unorthodox techniques

The biggest key to creating a good brand is getting to know you and your team as human beings.

Your favorite movie, your favorite cocktail, and what makes your team tick.

If you hate lifelong friendships, gift bags, and hour-long discussions about music history, best look elsewhere.

Oregon Remembrance Project

A nonprofit based in Portland, OR, ORP is increasing awareness for Oregon’s history of racism and injustice.

They came to us looking to capture their beautiful state’s spirit, with nods to its past and a vision for the future.

Their first project: a jar of soil collected from the spot where Alonzo Tucker was lynched over 100 years ago in Coos Bay. They were kind enough to send us a portion of this soil as thanks for our work.

Tern Medtech

After decades in medtech, Justin noticed a problem: promising startups not entering foreign markets.

So comes the Arctic Tern: with the longest migration pattern in the world, there is no better, no more striking symbol for the incredible work Justin and his team take on bringing life-changing medical devices to the world’s biggest markets.

Onwards and upwards, with a focus on the people who make it all happen.

likely story co

Kelly is building a one-of-a-kind vibe with Likely Story Co, specializing in all things bookworm. Kindle cases, tote bags, bookmarks, and a monthly readers’ email club, acting as a beacon of light in a tough world.

Our brand is about escapism – romanticizing those ordinary moments and making your life extraordinary.

The rough paper on your fingers, sand between your toes, and heart-shaped sunglasses shading your eyes as you lose yourself in a good book.
